Look within for the answer

to your hearts desire.
The great secret possessed by the great men of all ages was
their ability to contact and release the powers of their sub
conscious mind. You can do the same.
Your subconscious has the answer to all problems. If you
suggest to your subconscious prior to sleep, I want to get
up at 6 A.M., it will awaken you at that exact time.
Your subconscious mind is the builder of your body and can
heal you. Lull yourself to sleep every night with the idea of
perfect health, and your subconscious, being your faithful
servant, will obey you.
Every thought is a cause, and every condition is an effect.
If you want to write a book, write a wonderful play, give a
better talk to your audience, convey the idea lovingly and
feelingly to your subconscious mind, and it will respond
accordingly.

what your conscious mind decrees. If you say, I cant afford
it, it may be true, but do not say it. Select a better thought,
decree, Ill buy it. I accept it in my mind.
You have the power to choose. Choose health and happiness.
1

You can choose to be friendly, or you can choose to be

unfriendly. Choose to be cooperative, joyous, friendly,
lovable, and the whole world will respond. This is the best
way to develop a wonderful personality.
Your conscious mind is the watchman at the gate. Its chief
function is to protect your subconscious mind from false
impressions. Choose to believe that something good can
happen and is happening now. Your greatest power is your
capacity to choose. Choose happiness and abundance.
The suggestions and statements of others have no power to
hurt you. The only power is the movement of your own
thought. You can choose to reject the thoughts or
statements of others and affirm the good. You have the
power to choose how you will react.

Watch what you say. You have to account for every idle word.
Never say, I will fail; I will lose my job; I cant pay the rent.
Your subconscious cannot take a joke. It brings all these
things to pass.
Your mind is not evil. No force of nature is evil. It depends
how you use the powers of nature. Use your mind to bless,
heal, and inspire all people everywhere.

following, I can do all things through the power of my own

expressed on the screen of space as conditions, experiences,
and events. Therefore, you should carefully watch all ideas
and thoughts entertained in your conscious mind.
The law of action and reaction is universal. Your
thought is action, and the reaction is the automatic
response of your subconscious mind to your thought.
Watch your thoughts!
All frustration is due to unfulfilled desires. If you dwell on
obstacles, delays, and difficulties, your subconscious mind
responds accordingly, and you are blocking your own good.
The Life Principle will flow through you rhythmically and
harmoniously if you consciously affirm: I believe that the
subconscious power which gave me this desire is now
fulfilling it through me. This dissolves all conflicts.

subconscious with thoughts of harmony, health, and peace,
and all the functions of your body will become normal again.

subconscious mind, releasing the healing power.

hypnotic suggestion.
This shows you the power of your thought.

is only one healing power, namely, your subconscious mind.

It is normal to be healthy. It is abnormal to be ill. There is
within the innate principle of harmony.

7

and destroy your nerves and glands bringing about

mental and physical diseases of all kinds.
What you affirm consciously and feel as true will be
made manifest in your mind, body and affairs. Affirm
the good and enter into the joy of living.

and fear, which block your answer. Easy does it.

hard labor is one way to become the richest man in the
graveyard. You do not have to strive or slave hard.
Wealth is a subconscious conviction. Build into your mentality
the idea of wealth.
The trouble with most people is that they have no invisible
means of support.
Repeat the word, Wealth, to yourself slowly and quietly for
about five minutes prior to sleep and your subconscious will
bring wealth to pass in your experience.
The feeling of wealth produces wealth. Keep this in mind at
all times.
Your conscious and subconscious mind must agree. Your
subconscious accepts what you really feel to be true. The
dominant idea is always accepted by your subconscious mind.
The dominant idea should be wealth, not poverty.

You can overcome any mental conflict regarding wealth by

affirming frequently, By day and by night I am being
prospered in all of my interests.
Increase your sales by repeating this statement over and over
again, My sales are improving every day; I am advancing,
progressing, and getting wealthier every day.

magnify and multiply your loss.
Deposit thoughts of prosperity, wealth, and success in your

When money is circulating freely in your life, you are
economically healthy. Look at\ money like the tide and you
will always have plenty of it. The ebb and flow of the tide is
constant. When the tide is out, you are absolutely sure that it
will return.
Knowing the laws of your subconscious mind, you will
always be supplied regardless of what form money takes.
One reason many people simply make ends meet and
ever have enough money is that they condemn money.
What you condemn takes wings and flies away.
Do not make a god of money. It is only a symbol. Remember
10

that the real riches are in your mind. You are here to lead a
balanced lifethis includes acquiring all the money you
need.

Dont make money your sole aim. Claim wealth, happiness,

peace, true expression, and love, and personally radiate love
and good will to all. Then your subconscious mind will give
you compound interest in all these fields of expression.
There is no virtue in poverty. It is a disease of the mind,
and you should heal yourself of this mental conflict or
malady at once.
You are not here to live in a hovel, to dress in rags, or to go
hungry. You are here to lead the life more abundant.
Never use the terms filthy lucre or I despise money. You
lose what you criticize.
There is nothing good or bad, but thinking of it in either light
makes it so.
Repeat frequently, I like money. I use it wisely,
constructively, and judiciously. I release it with joy, and it
returns a thousand fold.
Money is not evil any more so than copper, lead, tin, or iron
which you may find in the ground. All evil is due to
ignorance and misuse of the minds powers.
To picture the end result in your mind causes your
subconscious to respond and fulfill your mental picture.
Stop trying to get something for nothing. There is no such
thing as a free lunch. You must give to receive. You must give
mental attention to your goals, ideals, and enterprises, and
your deeper mind will back you up. The key to wealth is
application of the laws of the subconscious mind by
impregnating it with the idea of wealth.
11

Success means successful living. When you are peaceful,

happy, joyous, and doing what you love to do, you are
successful.

Find out what you love to do, and then do it. If you dont
know your true expression, ask for guidance, and the
lead will come.
Specialize in your particular field and try to know more about
it than anyone else.
A successful man is not selfish. His main desire in life is to

mind, you will experience the joy of the answered prayer.
Your subconscious mind is a storehouse of memory. For a
perfect memory, affirm frequently: The infinite
12

intelligence of my subconscious mind reveals to me

everything I need to know at all times, everywhere.

If you wish to sell a home or property of any kind, affirm

slowly, quietly, and feelingly as follows: Infinite intelligence
attracts to me the buyer for this house or property, who
wants it, and who prospers in it. Sustain this awareness,
and the deeper currents of your subconscious mind will
bring it to pass.
The idea of success contains all the elements of success.
Repeat the word, success, to yourself frequently with faith
and conviction, and you will be under a subconscious
compulsion to succeed.
Remember that the subconscious mind has determined the
success and wonderful achievements of all great scientific
workers.
By giving your conscious attention and devotion to the
solution of a perplexing problem, your subconscious mind
gathers all the necessary information and presents it fullblown to the conscious mind.
If you are wondering about the answer to a problem, try to
solve it objectively. Get all the information you can from
research and also from others. If no answer comes, turn it
over to your subconscious mind prior to sleep, and the
answer always comes. It never fails.
You do not always get the answer overnight. Keep on
turning your request over to your subconscious until
the daybreaks and the shadows flee away.
You delay the answer by thinking it will take a long time or
that it is a major problem.
13

Your subconscious has no problem it knows only the answer.

Believe that you have the answer now. Feel the joy of the
answer and the way you would feel if you had the perfect
answer. Your subconscious will respond to your feeling.
Any mental picture, backed by faith and perseverance, will
come to pass through the miracle working power of your
subconscious. Trust it, believe in its power, and wonders will
happen as you pray.

your subconscious are recorded all your experiences since
childhood.
Scientists meditating on ancient scrolls, temples, fossils, etc.,
are able to reconstruct scenes of the past and make them
alive today. Their subconscious mind comes to their aid.
Turn over your request for a solution to your subconscious
prior to sleep. Trust it and believe in it, and the answer will
come. It knows all and sees all, but you must not doubt or
question its powers.
The action is your thought, and the reaction is the response
of your subconscious mind. If your thoughts are wise, your
actions and decisions will be wise.
Guidance comes as a feeling, an inner awareness, an
overpowering hunch whereby you know that you know. It is
an inner sense of touch. Follow it.
If you are worried that you will not wake up on time,
suggest to your subconscious mind prior to sleep the exact
time you wish to arise, and it will awaken you. It needs no
14

clock. Do the same thing with all problems. There is nothing

too hard for your subconscious.

Your subconscious never sleeps. It is always on the job. It

controls all your vital functions. Forgive yourself and
everyone else before you go to sleep, and healing will take
place much more rapidly.
Guidance is given you while you are asleep, sometimes in a
dream. The healing currents are also released, and in the
morning you feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
When troubled by the vexations and strife of the day, still the
wheels of your mind and think about the wisdom and
intelligence lodged in your subconscious mind, which is ready
to respond to you. This will give you peace, strength, and
confidence.
Sleep is essential for peace of mind and health of body.
Lack of sleep can cause irritation, depression, and
mental disorders. You need eight hours sleep.
Medical research scholars point out that insomnia precedes
psychotic breakdowns.
You are spiritually recharged during sleep. Adequate sleep is
essential for joy and vitality in life.
Your tired brain craves sleep so hungrily that it will
sacrifice anything to get it. Many who have fallen asleep at
the wheel of an automobile can testify to this.
Many sleep deprived people have poor memories and lack
proper coordination. They become befuddled, confused,
and disorientated.
15

Sleep brings counsel. Prior to sleep, claim that the infinite

intelligence of your subconscious mind is guiding and
directing you. Then, watch for the lead, which comes, perhaps
on awakening.
Trust your subconscious completely. Know that its tendency is
always life ward.

thinking and beliefs. Claim infinite intelligence leads and
guides you and that all good is yours, and your future will
Ignorance of mental and spiritual laws is the cause of
all marital unhappiness. By praying scientifically
together, you stay together.
The best time to prevent divorce is before marriage. If you
learn how to pray in the right way, you will attract the right
mate for you.
Marriage is the union of a man and woman who are bound
together by love. Their hearts beat as one, and they move
onward, upward, and Godward.
Marriage does not bequeath happiness. People find
happiness by dwelling on the eternal truths of God and the
spiritual values of life. Then, the man and woman can
contribute to each others happiness and joy.
You attract the right mate by dwelling on the qualities and
characteristics you admire in a woman or a man, and then
your subconscious mind will bring you together in divine
16

order.
You must build into your mentality the mental equivalent of
what you want in a marriage partner. If you want to attract
an honest, sincere, and loving partner in life, you must be
honest, sincere, and loving yourself.
You do not have to repeat mistakes in marriage. When you
really believe you can have the type man or woman you
idealize, it is done unto you, as you believe. To believe is to
accept something as true. Accept your ideal companion now
mentally.
Do not wonder how, why, or where you will meet the mate
you are praying for. Trust implicitly the wisdom of your
subconscious mind. It has the knowhow, and you dont
have to assist it.

You are mentally divorced when you indulge in peeves,

grudges, ill will, and hostility toward your marriage partner.
You are mentally dwelling with error in the bed of your mind.
Adhere to your marriage vows, I promise to cherish, love,
and honor him (or her) all the days of my life.
Cease projecting fear patterns to your marriage partner.
Project love, peace, harmony,and good will, and your
marriage will grow more beautiful and more wonderful
through the years.
Radiate love, peace, and good will to each other. These
vibrations are picked up by the subconscious mind
resulting in mutual trust, affection, and respect.
A nagging wife is usually seeking attention and
appreciation. She is craving for love and affection. Praise
and exalt her many good points. Show her that you love
her and appreciate her.
17

A man who loves his wife does not do anything unloving or

unkind in word, manner, or action. Love is what love does.
In marital problems, always seek expert advice. You would
not go to a carpenter to pull a tooth; neither should you
discuss your marriage problems with relatives or friends.
You should go to a trained person for counsel.
Never try to make your wife or husband over. These attempts
are always foolish and tend to destroy the pride and self
esteem of the other. Moreover, it arouses a spirit of
resentment that proves fatal to the marriage bond. Cease
trying to make the other a second edition of yourself.
Pray together and you will stay together. Scientific prayer
solves all problems.
Mentally picture your wife as she ought to be, joyous,
happy, healthy, and beautiful. See your husband, as he
ought to be, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious, and
kind.
Maintain this mental picture, and you will experience
the marriage made in heaven, which is harmony and
peace.

will come to you when you acquire a sublime
confidence in this power. Then, you will make your
dreams come true.
You can rise victorious over any defeat and realize
the cherished desires of your heart through the
marvelous power of your subconscious mind. This is
18

the meaning of whosoever trusteth in the Lord

[spiritual laws of the subconscious mind], happy is
he. You must choose happiness. Happiness is a habit.
It is a good habit to ponder often onWhatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are
pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things
are of good report
; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these
things. Phil. 4:8.
When you open your eyes in the morning, say to
yourself, I choose happiness today. I choose success
today. I choose right action today. I choose love and
good will for all today. I choose peace today. Pour life,
love, and interest into this affirmation, and you have
chosen happiness.
Give thanks for all your blessings several times a day.
Furthermore, pray for the peace, happiness, and
prosperity of all members of your family, your
associates, and all people everywhere.
You must sincerely desire to be happy. Nothing is
accomplished without desire. Desire is a wish with

19

wings of imagination and faith. Imagine the fulfillment

of your desire, and feel its reality, and it will come to
pass. Happiness comes in answered prayer.
By constantly dwelling on thoughts of fear, worry,
anger, hate, and failure, you will become very
depressed and unhappy. Remember, your life is what
your thoughts make of it.
You cannot buy happiness with all the money in the world.
Some millionaires are very happy, some are very unhappy.
Many people with very little worldly goods are very happy,
and some are very unhappy. Some married people are happy,
and some very unhappy. Some single people are happy, and
some are very unhappy. The kingdom of happiness is in your
thought and feeling.
Happiness is the harvest of a quiet mind. Anchor your
thoughts on peace, poise, security, and divine guidance, and
your mind will be productive of happiness.
There is no block to your happiness. External things are not
causative; these are effects, not cause. Take your cue from the
only creative principle within you. Your thought is cause, and
a new cause produces a new effect. Choose happiness.

The happiest man is he who brings forth the highest and

the best in him. God is the highest and the best in him, for
the kingdom of God is within.
Your subconscious mind is a recording machine, which
reproduces your habitual thinking. Think good of the other,
and you are actually thinking good about yourself.
A hateful or resentful thought is a mental poison. Do not
20

think ill of another for to do so is to think ill of yourself. You

are the only thinker in your universe, and your thoughts are
creative.
Your mind is a creative medium; therefore, what you think
and feel about the other, you are bringing to pass in your
own experience. This is the psychological meaning of the
Golden Rule. As you would that man should think about
you, think you about them in the same manner.
To cheat, rob, or defraud another brings lack, loss, and
limitation to yourself. Your subconscious mind records your
inner motivations, thoughts, and feelings. These being of a
negative nature; loss, limitation, and trouble come to you in
countless ways. Actually, what you do to the other, you are
doing to yourself.
The good you do, the kindness proffered, the love and good
will you send forth, will all come back to you multiplied in
many ways.
You are the only thinker in your world. You are responsible
for the way you think about the other. Remember, the other
person is not responsible for the way you think about him.
Your thoughts are reproduced. What are you thinking now
about the other fellow?
Become emotionally mature and permit other people to
differ from you. They have a perfect right to disagree with
you, and you have the same freedom to disagree with them.
You can disagree without being disagreeable.
Animals pick up your fear vibrations and snap at you. If
you love animals, they will never attack you. Many
undisciplined human beings are just as sensitive as dogs,
cats, and other animals.

21

Your inner speech, representing your silent thoughts and

feelings, is experienced in the reactions of others toward
you.
Wish for the other what you wish for yourself. This is the key
to harmonious human relations.
Change your concept and estimate of your employer. Feel
and know he is practicing the Golden Rule and the Law of
Love, and he will respond accordingly.

The other person cannot annoy you or irritate you except

you permit him. Your thought is creative; you can bless him.
If someone calls you a skunk, you have the freedom to say to
the other, Gods peace fills your soul.
Love is the answer to getting along with others. Love is
understanding, good will, and respecting the divinity of the
other.
You would not hate a hunchback or cripple. You would have
compassion. Have compassion and understanding for mental
hunchbacks who have been conditioned negatively. To
understand all is to forgive all.
Rejoice in the success, promotion, and good fortune of the
other. In doing so, you attract good fortune to yourself.
Never yield to emotional scenes and tantrums of others.
Appeasement never wins. Do not be a doormat. Adhere to
that which is right. Stick to your ideal, knowing that the
mental outlook, which gives you peace, happiness, and joy,
is right, good, and true. What blesses you, blesses all.
All you owe any person in the world is love, and love is
22

wishing for everyone what you wish for yourselfhealth,

happiness, and all the blessings of life.
God, or Life, is no respecter of persons. Life plays no
favorites. Life, or God, seems to favor you when you align
yourself with the principle of harmony, health, joy, and
peace.
God, or Life, never sends disease, sickness, accident, or
suffering. We bring these things on ourselves by our own
negative destructive thinking based upon the law as we sow,
so shall we reap.
Your concept of God is the most important thing in your life.
If you really believe in a
God of love, your subconscious mind will respond in
countless blessings to you. Believe in a God of love.
Life, or God, holds no grudge against you. Life never
condemns you. Life heals a severe cut on your hand. Life
forgives you if you burn your finger. It reduces the edema
and restores the part to wholeness and perfection.
Your guilt complex is a false concept of God and Life. God, or
Life, does not punish or judge you. You do this to yourself by
your false beliefs, negative thinking, and self condemnation.
God, or Life, does not condemn or punish you. The forces of
nature are not evil. The effect of their use depends on how you
use the power within you. You can use electricity to kill
someone or to light the house. You can use water to drown a
child, or quench his thirst. Good and evil come right back to
the thought and purpose in mans own mind.

God, or Life, never punishes. Man punishes himself by his

false concepts of God, Life, and the Universe. His thoughts
23

are creative, and he creates his own misery.

If another criticizes you, and these faults are within you,
rejoice, give thanks, and appreciate the comments. This
gives you the opportunity to correct the particular fault.
You cannot be hurt by criticism when you know that you are
master of your thoughts, reactions, and emotions. This gives
you the opportunity to pray and bless the other, thereby
blessing yourself.
When you pray for guidance and right action, take what
comes. Realize it is good and very good. Then there is no
cause for self-pity, criticism, or hatred.
There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so. There
is no evil in sex, the desire for food, wealth, or true expression.
It depends on how you use these urges, desires, or aspirations.
Your desire for food can be met without killing someone for a
loaf of bread.
Resentment, hatred, ill will, and hostility are behind a host of
maladies. Forgive yourself and everybody else by pouring out
love, life, joy, and good will to all those who have hurt you.
Continue until such time as you meet them in your mind and
you are at peace with them.
To forgive is to give something for. Give love, peace, joy,
wisdom, and all the blessings of life to the other, until there is
no sting left in your mind. This is really the acid test of
forgiveness.
Let us suppose you had an abscess in your jaw about a year
ago. It was very painful.
Ask yourself if it is painful now. The answer is in the
negative. Likewise, if someone has hurt you, lied about and
vilified you, and said all manner of evil about you, is your
thought of that person negative? Do you sizzle when he or
24

she comes into your mind? If so, the roots of hatred are still
there, playing havoc with you and your good. The only way
is to wither them with love by wishing for the person all the
blessings of life, until you can meet the person in your mind,
and you can sincerely react with a benediction of peace and
good will. This is the meaning of forgive until seventy times
seven.
The solution lies within the problem. The answer is in
every question. Infinite intelligence responds to you as
you call upon it with faith and confidence.

Habit is the function of your subconscious mind. There is

no greater evidence of the marvelous power of your
subconscious than the force and sway habit holds in your
life.
You are a creature of habit.
You form habit patterns in your subconscious mind by
repeating a thought and act over and over again until it
establishes tracks in the subconscious mind and becomes
automatic, such as swimming, dancing, typing, walking,
driving your car, etc.
You have freedom to choose. You can choose a good habit or a
bad habit. Prayer is a good habit.
Whatever mental picture, backed by faith, you behold
in your conscious mind, and your subconscious mind
will bring to pass.
The only obstacle to your success and achievement is your
own thought or mental image.
When your attention wanders, bring it back to the
contemplation of your good or goal.
25

Make a habit of this. This is called disciplining the mind.

Your conscious mind is the camera, and your subconscious
mind is the sensitive plate on which you register or impress
the picture.
The only jinx that follows anyone is a fear thought repeated
over and over in the mind.
Break the jinx by knowing that whatever you start you will
bring to a conclusion in divine order. Picture the happy
ending and sustain it with confidence.

To form a new habit, you must be convinced that it is

desirable. When your desire to give up the bad habit is
greater than your desire to continue, you are fifty-one percent
healed already.
The statements of others cannot hurt you except
through your own thoughts and mental participation.
Identify yourself with your aim, which is peace,
harmony, and joy.
You are the only thinker in your universe.
Excessive drinking is an unconscious desire to escape. The
cause of alcoholism is negative and destructive thinking. The
cure is to think of freedom, sobriety, and perfection, and to
feel the thrill of accomplishment.
Many people remain alcoholics because they refuse to admit
it.
The law of your subconscious mind, which held you in
bondage and inhibited your freedom of action, will give you
freedom and happiness. It depends on how you use it.
Your imagination took you to the bottle; let it take you to
26

freedom by imagining you are free.

The real cause of alcoholism is negative and destructive
thinking. As a man thinketh in his heart [subconscious mind],
so is he.
When fear knocks at the door of your mind, let faith in God
and all things good open the door.
Do the thing you are afraid to do, and the death of fear is
certain. Say to yourself and mean it, I am going to master
this fear, and you will.

Fear is a negative thought in your mind. Supplant it with a

constructive thought. Fear has killed millions. Confidence is
greater than fear. Nothing is more powerful than faith in
God and the good.
Fear is mans greatest enemy. It is behind failure, sickness,
and bad human relations.
Love casts out fear. Love is an emotional attachment to
the good things of life. Fall in love with honesty, integrity,
justice, good will, and success. Live in the joyous
expectancy of the best, and invariably the best will come
to you.
Counteract the fear suggestions with the opposite, such as I
sing beautifully; I am poised, serene, and calm. It will pay
fabulous dividends.
Fear is behind amnesia at oral and written examination
time. You can overcome this by affirming frequently, I have
a perfect memory for everything I need to know, or you can
imagine a friend congratulating you on your brilliant success
on the examination. Persevere and you will win.
27

If you are afraid to cross water, swim. In your imagination

swim freely, joyously.
Project yourself into the water mentally. Feel the chill and
thrill of swimming across the pool. Make it vivid. As you do
this subjectively, you will be compelled to go into the water
and conquer it. This is the law of your mind.
If you are afraid of closed places, such as elevators, lecture
halls, etc., mentally ride in an elevator blessing all its parts
and functions. You will be amazed how quickly the fear will
be dissipated.
You were born with only two fears, the fear of falling and
the fear of noise. All your other fears were acquired. Get
rid of them.
Normal fear is good. Abnormal fear is very bad and
destructive. To constantly indulge in fear thoughts results in
abnormal fear, obsessions, and complexes. To fear something
persistently causes a sense of panic and terror.
You can overcome abnormal fear when you know the power
of your subconscious mind can change conditions and bring
to pass the cherished desires of your heart. Give your
immediate attention and devotion to your desire which is the
opposite of your fear. This is the love that casts out fear.
If you are afraid of failure, give attention to success. If you
are afraid of sickness, dwell on your perfect health. If you
are afraid of an accident, dwell on the guidance and
protection of God. If you are afraid of death, dwell on
Eternal Life. God is Life, and that is your life now.

The great law of substitution is the answer to fear.

Whatever you fear has its solution in the form of your
desire. If you are sick, you desire health. If you are in the
28

prison of fear, you desire freedom. Expect the good.

Mentally concentrate on the good, and know that your
subconscious mind answers you always. It never fails.
The things you fear do not really exist except as thoughts in
your mind. Thoughts are creative. This is why Job said; the
thing I feared has come upon me. Think good and good
follows.
Look at your fears; hold them up to the light of reason.
Learn to laugh at your fears. That is the best medicine.
Nothing can disturb you but your own thought. The
suggestions, statements, or threats of other persons have no
power. The power is within you, and when your thoughts are
focused on that which is good, then Gods power is with your
thoughts of good. There is only one Creative Power, and It
moves as harmony. There are no divisions of quarrels in it. Its
source is Love. This is why Gods power is with your thoughts
of good.
Patience, kindness, love, good will, joy, happiness,
wisdom, and understanding are qualities, which never
grow old. Cultivate them and express them, and remain
young in mind and body.
Some research physicians say that the neurotic fear of the
effects of time may well be the cause of premature aging.
Age is not the flight of years; it is the dawn of wisdom in the
mind of man.
The most productive years of your life can be from 65 to 95.
Welcome the advancing years. It means you are moving
higher on the path of life, which has no end.
God is Life, and that is your life now. Life is self renewing,
eternal, and indestructible, and is the reality of all men. You
29

live forever, because your life is Gods life.

Evidence of survival after death is overwhelming. Study
Proceedings of Psychical
Research Society of Great Britain and America in your library.
Outstanding scientists base the work on the scientific
research for over 75 years.
You cannot see your mind, but you know you have a mind.
You cannot see spirit, but you know that the spirit of the
game, the spirit of the artist, the spirit of the musician, and
the spirit of the speaker is real. Likewise, the spirit of
goodness, truth, and beauty moving in your mind and heart
are real. You cannot see life, but you know you are alive.

Old age may be called the contemplation of the truths of God from the highest
standpoint. The joys of old age are greater than those of youth. Your mind is
engaged in spiritual and mental athletics. Nature slows down your body so that
you may have the opportunity to meditate on things divine.
We do not count a mans years until he has nothing else to count. Your faith and
convictions are not subject to decay.
You are as young as you think you are. You are as strong as you think you are. You
are as useful as you think you are. You are as young as your thoughts.
Your gray hair is an asset. You are not selling your gray hairs. You are selling
your talent, abilities, and wisdom, which you have garnered through the years.
Diets and exercises wont keep you young. As a man thinketh, so is he.
Fear of old age can bring about physical and mental deterioration. The thing I
greatly feared has come upon me.
You grow old when you cease to dream, and when you lose interest in life. You
grow old if you are irritable, crotchety, petulant, and cantankerous. Fill your mind
with the truths of God and radiate the sunshine of His lovethis is youth.
Look ahead, for at all times you are gazing into infinite life.
Your retirement is a new venture. Take up new studies and new interests. You can
now do the things you always wanted to do when you were so busy making a living.
Give your attention to living life.
Become a producer and not a prisoner of society. Dont hide your light under a
bushel.
The secret of youth is love, joy, inner peace, and laughter. In Him there is fullness

of joy. In Him there is no darkness at all.

You are needed. Some of the great philosophers, artists, scientists, writers,
and others accomplished their greatest work after they were 80 years old.
The fruits of old age are love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness, and temperance.
You are a son of Infinite Life, which knows no end. You are a child of Eternity.
The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak
results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.
You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can
make your life what you want it to be.
When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once
more toward your coveted goal.
Before success comes in any mans life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps, some
failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what
the majority of men do. More than five hundred of the most successful men this country has ever known told
the author their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them.
Set your mind on a definite goal and observe how quickly the world stands aside to let you pass.
The way of success is the way of continuous pursuit of knowledge.
Every adversity, every failure, every heartbreak, carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
More gold had been mined from the mind of men than the earth it self
To win the big stakes in this changed world, you must catch the spirit of the great pioneers of the past,
whose dreams have given to civilization all that it has of value, the spirit that serves as the life-blood of our
own country your opportunity and mine, to develop and market our talents.
A quitter never wins-and-a winner never quits.
We refuse to believe that which we don't understand.
Neglecting to broaden their view has kept some people doing one thing all their lives.

Put your foot upon the neck of the fear of criticism by reaching a decision not to worry about what other
people think, do, or say.
Those who succeed in an outstanding way seldom do so before the age of 40. More often, they do not strike
their real pace until they are well beyond the age of 50.
One who has loved truly, can never lose entirely. Love is whimsical and temperamental. Its nature is
ephemeral, and transitory. It comes when it pleases,and goes away without warning. Accept and enjoy it
while it remains, but spend no time worrying about its departure. Worry will never bring it back.
Helen Keller became deaf, dumb, and blind shortly after birth. Despite her greatest misfortune, she has
written her name indelibly in the pages of the history of the great. Her entire life has served as evidence that
no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as reality.
IF - and this is the greatest of them all - I had the courage to see myself as I reallyam, I would find out what
is wrong with me, and correct it, then I might have a chance to profit by my mistakes and learn something
from the experience of others,for I know that there is something WRONG with me, or I would now be where
I WOULD HAVE BEEN IF I had spent more time analyzing my weaknesses, and less time building alibis to
cover them.
Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon
anyone who will accept them. If you are influenced by "opinions" when you reach DECISIONS, you will not
succeed in any undertaking.
TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO, BUT FIRST SHOW IT.This is the equivalent of saying
"deeds, and not words, are what count most.
I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity,
because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to
believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself.
Youve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.
If you are ready for the secret, you already possess one half of it,therefore, you will readily recognize the
other half the moment it reaches your mind.
If you give up before your goal has been reached, you are a "quitter." A QUITTER NEVER WINS AND A
WINNER NEVER QUITS. Lift this sentence out, write it on a piece of paper in letters an inch high, and place
it where you will see it every night before you go to sleep, and every morning before you go to work
Perhaps we shall learn, as we pass through this age, that the 'other self" is more powerful than the physical
self we see when we look into a mirror.
Remember that it is not the lawyer who knows the most law, but the one who best prepares his case, who
wins.

Awake,arise,and assert yourself,you dreamers of the world. Your star is now in ascendancy.
There is a difference between WISHING for a thing and being READY to receive it. No one is ready for a
thing, until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be BELIEF, not mere hope or wish. Openmindedness is essential for belief.
Remember,too,that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start,and pass through many heartbreaking
struggles before they "arrive". The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at some
moment of crisis,through which they are introduced to their "other selves".
The only limitation is that which one sets up in one's own mind.
That is one of the tricks of opportunity. It has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often it comes
disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. Perhaps this is why so many fail to recognize
opportunity.
A quitter never winsand a winner never quits.
In parting, I would remind you that Life is a checkerboard, and the player opposite you is time. If you
hesitate before moving, or neglect to move promptly, your men will be wiped off the board by time. You are
playing against a partner who will not tolerate decisions!
The oak sleeps in the acorn. The bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel
stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of reality.
Remember, too, that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start, and pass through many heartbreaking
struggles before they "arrive." The turning point in the lives of those who succeed, usually comes at the
moment of some crisis, through which they are introduced to their "other selves.
There is no substitute for persistence. The person who makes persistence his watch-word, discovers that
Old Man Failure finally becomes tired, and makes his departure. Failure cannot cope with persistence.
Faith removes limitations!
There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge both poverty and riches are the offspring
of thought
Both success and failure are largely the results of habit!
The cause of the depression is traceable directly to the worldwide habit of trying to reap without sowing.
One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary
defeat.
Every man is what he is, because of the dominating thoughts which he permits to occupy his mind.
Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve.

Remember, too, that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start, and pass through many heartbreaking
struggles before they arrive. The turning point in the lives of those who succeed, usually comes at the
moment of some crisis, through which they are introduced to their other selves.

No one ever is defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.
